CameraCraftsman is a pretty amazing group of photographers. I was a member for a very short time, but couldn't maintain their meeting requirement. After having no choice but to miss three meetings in a row my membership was terminated. Although no longer a member, I couldn't be more proud to have been involved briefly.

The image is just over seventeen years old and as I looked at I was amazed how many people we've lost, most recently Ken Whitmire. So, from a purely sentimental perspective, check out the people in this group shot. They represent some of the most respected members of the photographic community and deserve so much credit for blazing the path that's become your legacy as a professional photographer today.
